Dressing tips that may help us present a better and more professional image - with minimal effort. I especially love the one on how to remove wrinkles from your clothes without an actual iron.

Nice find. I wonder how many other folks in and outside NIE will be open to this form of signing. Maybe it is time to push those who are willing to explore this option!

I have tried that. 5 forms for free version. Unlike Doodle, you can remove the old item and free up for new added item. Once the form is signed, no way to remove it. The paid version is USD$49 per month for business and mobile ready. I understand that CUS has also subscribed to some kind of signing software, will check that out.

I understand from Lay Choo, It is also under CUS roadmap to implement signature software to campus if they find the signature software good. They are now using eSignDoc from softpro. I recommend RightSignature to her instead :)

Google is dropping video responses on YouTube from September 12.

For the time being as "The company says it's working on a replacement, such as including video links in comments, to help promote better engagement"

@hiweewee Exactly. BTW, we already have our faces & voices, see vids at http://t.co/2Ii7gAG0 #edsg

Something for the ETs and Jason to read and react to.

Interesting article! I think one reason why many teachers keep on sticking to the defaults is because _precisely_ BB can be so flexible and do so many things, and there's a lot of templates available. This panoply of choices leads to decision fatigue on the teachers' part: "Which features should I use for presenting to my students? how can I package and so on... arrrrh I'll just stick with the defaults and customize another day." (Can read more about decision fatigue at http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/21/magazine/do-you-suffer-from-decision-fatigue.html) So, I think our training strategies would have to recognize and take into account this human tendency to choose the easy defaults, especially when mentally tired.

Defaults are bad? hmmm... My son started using the kiddy skate scooter about 4 mths ago and he does it like a pro now. When I bought the scooter, it came with 'default settings', i.e. all fixed up and ready to use. He had a go at it and we adjusted the height and widen the handles along the way. He grew more confident and I removed the trainer wheels. I cannot imagine when the scooter came without any 'default settings', i.e. 4 wheels, 2 bars, rubber tubes, etc, I will be quite frustrated setting it up from scratch and my son will be climbing all over me. Defaults cannot be seen as something bad in my opinion. It gives new users or busy people something to start with, I personally appreciate that. When we design instructions, we provide foundations to get our learners started, building blocks or scaffolding their learning as they progress. A range of basic, intermediate or advanced instructional plans can also be presented later on. Essentially, what are the characteristics of our learners or the users of BB? What do you think they need? Demographics of our acad staffs for example are quite 'senior adult learners' (correct me if I am wrong). Do we think we want to present a blank BB page and tell them, 'hey, guess what? its all about customisation now, whatever you want, put it in.' No prize for guessing what their reactions will be. On the other hand, there maybe a group of people who do not want to conform to defaults but to change things or customise their experiences. Nothing wrong with that too. My point is, let's provide a range of options for users, we inform that there are default settings to get them started but there are also room for customisation for the adventurous. We want to be learner centric, hence customisation of experiences but we also do not want to leave anyone behind. That said, I am going to change all my default passwords and user ids of my mobile.... no wonder banks have been calling me to ask if I needed loans.
